It was now Saturday morning and after persuading their parents and guardians Tom was allowed to stay over for the whole weekend; Nancy, Darren and Leela where all fine wilh it because Tom was sleeping on the floor in Peri's room but Cameron, well he took a bit of gentle persuading from Leela for him to begrudgingly agree.
The sun came though Peri's curtains which caused Tom to wake first, then Peri.
Morning" she smiled as she sat up sleepily "How was the floor?"
"It was alright, comfort" he said causing her to giggle.
"No it wasn't, you liar" she told him, crawling from under her covers and laying so she could see over the side of her bed to his makeshift bed that lay on her floor "So, what do you fancy doing today?" she asked him and he shrugged.
"Cinema?" she asked him with an enthusiastic grin "We could do" he said as he leant up and went to kiss her but she put her hand over her mouth "Morning breath" she mumbled.
"I don't care" he said as he tried to prise her hand away from her mouth but she wouldn't let up him so he attacked her with tickles making her laugh and wiggle, trying to get out of his reach, she ended up falling head first from the bed but luckily he caught her so she didn't hit the floor that hard.
She landed on top of him and just stayed there giggling causing him to laugh too.
"I told you something's going on" came an angry voice before her bedroom door flew open "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" he shouted.
"Nothing, I just fell off the bed" she told her Dad.
"And how did you fall off the bed?" he asked as he looked between the two teenagers on the floor.
"Um, Tom was tickling me" she told him.
"Right" her Dad replied sarcastically.
"It's true Dad" she sighed, getting up from the floor "Nothing happened, I just fell"
"And why were you laughing?" he asked.
"I don't know Dad" she shouted "Seriously..." before she could say anymore Tom awkwardly left the room to go to the bathroom "We were just messing about" she told her Dad as she watched Tom go.
"Yeah that's what worries me" her Dad muttered under his breath but she heard and scoffed, before she could say anything Leela appeared, seeing Cameron's angry face she glanced at her daughter and saw her glaring at him "Are you okay?" she asked to no one in particular "NO" Peri shouted "He comes in here accusing me of all sorts, god I wouldn't do that and even if we were going to you couldn't stop us"
Leela looked at her daughter in shock then she looked at Cameron who looked extremely mad "Cameron, just calm down yeah" Leela whispered close to his ear, putting her hand on his lower shoulder to try to calm him down "I'll deal with this" she said, telling Cameron to go downstairs.
Once he had left the room Leela looked at her daughter causing her to roll her eyes "What?" she asked.
"You know what, you are deliberately winding your Dad up" Leela said as she stepped into the room and shut the door.
"No I'm not" Peri argued.
"So what was all that 'even if we were going to you couldn't stop us" about?" Leela asked her daughter.
"Nothing, I was just saying" Peri said.
"Pez, you're fourteen" Leela said, taking her hand and leading them to the bed so they were now sat on the end of her bed.
"Yeah and..." Peri looked at her Mum "I love him, you didn't wait"
Leela sighed "Yeah and look what happened to me"
"So you're saying you wish you never had me" Peri said in a raised voice.
"I'm not saying that at all, you know how much I love you but being pregnant at fourteen wasn't the plan, I wish I waited, yes, but I don't regret it because if I did I wouldn't have you" Leela said.
"Yeah..." Peri paused and thought for a second "Well I'm not going to get pregnant"
Leela sighed as she looked at her daughter "I've thought about it and you can't stop us, we love each other" Peri said.
"Fine, but just know your Dad ain't going to be happy and I'm noting going to be there to save you from his lectures"
"Fine" Peri said firmly.
"Look Peri, you're only a kid, you should wa..." Peri cut her Mum off "Mum already gave me the birds and the bees talk and all that, talk about embarrassing, but I get it"
Leela knew she meant Sam when she said Mum and that was finally okay with her because she had her daughter back and after all her Mum and Dad had brought her daughter up to be the amazing person she is now and for that she would always be grateful for.
"Look, we have this thing called Sex Education in school, I'm not some clueless kid" Peri said "We'll be safe, I promise"
Leela looked at her daughter, knowing that her mind was already made up and she wouldn't budge, so what else could she do? She could hardly stop her and Tom seeing each other, they go to the same school, I mean if they are that sure about this then they would find a way.
"Fine, but I'm getting you a Doctor's appointment and we're getting you put on the pill" Leela said before getting up and walking to the door.
"Okay Mum, you won't tell Dad though will you?"
"No, but you should" Leela said, turning to face her daughter.
"You know how mad he will get..."
"And if you don't tell him and he finds out he will be even madder" Leela said causing Peri to sigh "Look, he'll be mad at first but he'll calm down...hopefully" she added.
"Fine" Peri said "Can you get out now so I can get changed?"
Leela nodded as she looked at Peri for a moment before walking out the room.
Leela walked downstairs to see Cameron glaring at Tom "Cam, leave the poor boy alone" she said "They weren't doing anything"
"I knew it was a bad idea to let him sleepover, but you persuaded me" he said with a frown "He's not stopping tonight, he can go home, I don't trust them"
"DAD!" Peri shouted as she walked downstairs.
"He's not staying Peri" he warned causing Peri to let out a frustrated scream "Fine, come on Tom"
"Where are you going?" Leela asked.
"To the park and you can't stop us" Peri said as she grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him to the door.
Leela placed her hand on Cameron's chest to hold him back "Just let them go" she said gently "If you stop her seeing Tom see will just do it behind our backs"
Cameron watched as the two teenagers left the house, he was angry and Leela knew when he was in this kind of mood just to leave him to it "What did she say to you up there?" he asked.
"Speak to her tonight, but you need to stay calm and hear her out" Leela said before walking into the kitchen.
...
Tom and Peri decided to go back to his after the park because Peri didn't want to see her Dad.
When they arrived at the pub Frankie was behind to bar so they just headed up "Hey Frankie" Peri said as they walked past.
"Oh, hey kids" Frankie said as she smiled warmly before serving her next customer.
Once they walked into the flat they sat on the couch "Wanna play a game?" Tom asked as he held a controller out for her "Sure" she said as she took the controller and they started playing.
They played two races which Peri won before Peri paused the game "I told Mum and she's okay with it" she said, looking at Tom.
"What, she is?" he asked in shock "What about your Dad?"
"Well, I told her she can't stop us" she shrugged "And I am not telling Dad, he'd kill us. Anyway he can't stop us"
Tom was quiet for a minute as he looked at his girlfriend.
"You still want to right?" she asked.
Tom nodded before leaning forward and kissing her "I want to" he told her as he pulled back from the kiss.
"Good" she said, smiling at him "Have you got the condoms?" she had asked Tom to get the condoms so he had been to get them after school one day; he had gone into town to get them because he didn't want anyone to see him.
"Yeah"
We can't do it at mine because of Dad, he'll be too suspicious" she told him.
"Okay, well everyone's out tomorrow so you can come here" Tom said causing her to smile.
"I wish you could stay again tonight, sometimes Dad can be so annoying" she rolled her eyes "So tomorrow yeah?"
"Yeah, I'll text you when everyone leaves" he said.
"Okay, well I probably ought to go home, see if Dads calmed down" she told him.
"I'll walk you" he offered and she smiled "You don't have to" she said, getting up and walking to the door.
"I want to" he said and followed her to the door "I need to get me stuff from yours anyway"
"Okay" she agreed and they both left the flat.
...
Peri and Tom arrived at the door of her house, they stood there for a second as Peri listened to see if she could hear her Dad before opening the door to see her Mum in the kitchen "Hey" she called "Just go upstairs and get your stuff" she told Tom.
"Hey Pez" Leela said, turning to face her.
"Is Dad here?" Peri asked.
"No, he just popped into work but he'll be back soon and he's not in a good mood" Leela said.
"Okay, well Tom's just come to get his stuff" Peri said as she walked upstairs.
